There Was Some Kick Yesterday Over
the Resolution introduced by Con-
gressman GrOsven0r,
And the Blaine Men Tried to Secure a
Ratification Of the Original
Proposition,
But the Machine Scheme viii Go
Through With Howl---Foraker
for Governor.

BrlnSmade. OF the state central cOm-
mittee. called the Republican state con-
vention to order in Memorial hall. Hon.
Dan Ryan, OF Portsmouth, was elected
temporary chairman, and denounced
the Democracy of the state in unSparing
terms. He also eulogized Senator
Sherman. who, he said, had for twenty
eight wears been trusted, loved and
honOred by the Republican party, and
urged the Republicans of Ohio to elect
Foraker and tie state ticket. Then
let us turn toward 1SSS,'' he said in con-
cluS:on. land try to put John Sherman
in the White house" The conclusion
of the speech was received with an
oUTBURST OF ENTHUSIASM,
the delegates upon the floor and the
spectators in the balconies emulating
each other in the heartinesS of the DEM
Onstration, while the occupants OF the
ladies' gallery waved their handler-
chiefs and clapped their hands for sew
eral seconds. When quiet had been re-
stored the roll of districts was called
for members of the various committees.
Fully half an hour was thus occupied,
and the TWenty-tirSt and last district
had hardly been completed when from
the center of the hall the well known
voice of Congressman Charles GrOS-
venOr was heard to claim the recOgnl-
ton of the chair. instantly all eyes
were turned in his direction. In slow
and measured tones he commenced: Il
have resolution to offer" Then he
paused.
TIE PAUSE WAS FATAL
for the time being to the matter he had
in hand, for, taking advantage of it, eX-
Speaker keifeT was on his feet. i
move that all resolutions be read and
referred to the committee Oh resolutions
without discussion" he shouted. The
motion was seconded in dozen quart
ers and. on being put to vote, was car
ried by large ma 5Ority, although the
noes managed to make great deal of
noise. BY this time Gen. Grosvenors
resolution had reached the platform.
IT READ AS FOLLOWS:
Recognizing, as the Republicans of Ohio
always have, the gifted and tried statesmen
of the Republican, party Of other states loyal
and unfaltering III their devotion to the sue
cess Of the organization in lSSS, under what
ever standard bearer the Republican ma
tional convention may select they have Just
pride in the record and career of John Sher-
man as a member of the Republican party,
and as statesman of fidelity, large expert
ence and great ability. His career rs a states
man began with the birth of the Republican
party; he has grown and devel-
oped with the growth of that organ
are stamped upon the records Of the party
and the statutes and constitution of the
country; aGd believing that his nomination
for the Office of president would now be
judicious, we respectfully present his name
to the people Of the United States as candi-
date and announce our hearty and cordial
support Of him for that Office.
There was terrific applause when
Seerman'S name was reached. and when
the reading had concluded, the senators
supporters climbed up on their chairs,
threw up their hats and yelled until
their lung power was exhausted. Once
more the enthusiasm was renewed when
Mayor Smith. of Cincinnati, presented
a series of resolutions signed by 400
members of the Twelfth Ward Repub
lican club of that city, indOrsing Sher-
man as candidate for the presidency.
Walter s. Thomas. the cOlOred editor of
Columbus. read the resolutions in a
style that brought out all the points.
1t was now the
TURN OF THE BLAINE MEN
and Col. J. G.. MunSon, of GAINESVILLE,
came TO the front with this resolution:
Resolved. That we hereby pledge the united
and enthusiastic support of the Republicans
OF Ohio TO the nominee OF the next national
Republican convention, and. III this coinec
tion. We call the attention of the Republicans
of Ohio to The eminent service and splendid
career OF Hon. Jon0 Sneflldl
There was not much applause when
the resolution had been read and after
all address from the Lincoln Club of
Piqua, favoring the endorsement of the
senator. the convention adjourned until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The committee on resolutions
are in secret session in Memorial
hall tonight, and according TO all ac-
counts it is having a warm time. The
Sherman men are now III the majority
IL to ), so it is said-and the GTosvenor
resolutions will undoubtedly be re-
ported to the convention.
The Blaine men will move to subSti-
tute the MunsOn proposition, and the
fight will be thrown into the cOnven-
ton. The anti-SheTmauiteS made earn
est but unsucces sful efforts to-day to
EFFECT A COMPROMISE
as well as to induce the senator's lieu
tenants to change their programme.
They have also placed in circulation for
signatures a paper by which those
who attach their names are put on
record as declaring that they have no
power or authority to vote on the preS:-
dental question, that they were elected
simply to help make a state ticket. and
that a vote either way on the endorse
ment will compromise them in their dis
tricts. If enough signatures can be OBJ
tanned to this document to make it
formidable an effort Will be made to get
If before the convention tomorrow.
Senator Sherman was very much lrri-
tated to-day at the tactics OF the opposi-
tion. and remarked to the representa-
tive of the GLOBE that some people
were treating him as though he were a
poor boy after the huSkS. "They seem
TO think L have no right here, he added,
''but they forget that l am delegate
and as much entitled to be here as they
are"
At IL o'clock the committee on resOlu-
tiOnS passed the first Sherman reSolu-
ti0n-the one absolutely and unquali-
fiedly indOrSing Senator Sherman for
the presidency. by vote of Is to 3,
which WIS afterwaFd made unanimous.
